Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
Hi,
after some time debugging this, I've came up with a solution for me.
I'm currently using version r2169 from the devel snapshots.
Associating with my Draytek Vigor 2600G Router, failed because the
madwifi is unable to handle the Element Payloads
IEEE80211_ELEMID_HOP_PARAMS = 8 and IEEE80211_ELEMID_HOP_TABLE = 9.
When receiving a Type 8 Frame, it recognizes it as too short and
discards it.
I've changed the driver, to handle such Frames like the AGERE Elements
by adding:
{{{
if ((*frm == IEEE80211_ELEMID_AGERE1) ||
(*frm == IEEE80211_ELEMID_AGERE2) ||
+ (*frm == IEEE80211_ELEMID_HOP_PARAMS)) {
frm = efrm;
continue;
}
}}}
This works at least for me. But it's a hack. Can anyone come up with
a better solution?
